- Fig.2 is a schematic flow diagram of a method of transmitting system information provided by an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Fig.2 , the method includes the following steps.
- the terminal is currently accessing the first network-side equipment.
- the first network-side equipment transmits an SI change notification to the terminal.
- the SI change notification is configured to indicate that SI is changed.
- the SI may be system information on demand of the terminal.
- the SI may refer to On-demand SI
- changes to the SI may be changes to part or all of parameters of the On-demand SI.
- the SI change notification may indicate that one or more system information blocks (SIB) of the SI are changed, one SI is changed, or one group of SI are changed, which is not limited herein.
- SIB system information blocks
- the terminal may receive SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification according to its own demand.
- the first network-side equipment may broadcast or unicast to the terminal SI corresponding to the SI change notification, or transmit SI corresponding to the SI change notification on demand of the terminal.
- the terminal may receive voluntarily SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, for example, request voluntarily or receive voluntarily SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, which is not limited herein.
- the terminal receives an SI change notification transmitted by the first network-side equipment; and then receives SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- receiving, by the terminal, SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification after the SI change notification is received by the terminal is achieved, thereby further improving the resource utilization.
- the network-side equipment transmits SI corresponding to the SI change notification after the SI change notification is transmitted, which facilitates improving the resource utilization.
- the terminal may receive version information (e.g., ValueTag) of the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment, and determine, in accordance with the version information of the SI, to receive the SI.
- version information e.g., ValueTag
- the version information of SI may be version information of the SI corresponding to the SI change notification, i.e., version information of the changed SI.
- the terminal compares the stored version information with the version information of the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to determine whether they are the same. If they are the same, the terminal no longer receives the SI corresponding to the SI change notification. If they are not the same, the terminal determines to receive the SI corresponding to the SI change notification.
- determining, by the terminal in accordance with the version information of SI, to receive the SI may include: determining, by the terminal, whether version information stored in the terminal is the same with the version information of SI; and when version information stored in the terminal is not the same with the version information of SI, the terminal determines to receive the SI.
- the version information may be ValueTag.
- Part of SIBs in the SI is associated with ValueTag.
- ValueTag remains unchanged, it means the SIBs associated with ValueTag are unchanged; and when ValueTag is changed, it means all SIBs associated with ValueTag are changed, and thus it is necessary to acquire an updated SI.
- ValueTag is carried in SIB1. If ValueTag in SIB1 is different from ValueTag stored by the terminal, it indicates that all stored SI, except for SIB10, SIB11 and SIB12, is invalid.
- the version information may be carried directly in the SI change notification. After the terminal receives the SI change notification, the terminal compares version information of SI with version information stored by the terminal. Of course, the version information may be carried in other message, which is not limited by this embodiment.
- the terminal since the terminal has no SI stored, it may be determined to receive SI.
- the terminal may receive indication message transmitted by a second network-side equipment.
- the indication message is configured to indicate change to SI.
- the terminal may determine according to the indication message whether to receive SI transmitted by the second network-side equipment.
- This solution is applicable to a scenario in which the terminal is handed over from the first network-side equipment to the second network-side equipment. If SI of the second network-side equipment is changed, and the second network-side equipment has already transmitted an SI change notification before the terminal accesses the second network-side equipment, the second network-side equipment may transmit an indication message to the terminal to notify the terminal of the change to SI. The terminal determines according to the indication message whether to receive SI transmitted by the second network-side equipment.
- the indication message may indicate changed SI. If the terminal has already received from the first network-side equipment SI indicated by the indication message, the terminal may refrain from receiving SI transmitted by the second network-side equipment.
- the indication message may carry version information of SI, such that the terminal may determine whether to receive SI according to stored version information and version information in the indication message.
- the indication message may be downlink control information (DCI).
- DCI may be the DCI corresponding to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), which contains indication bits configured to indicate change to SI.
- PDCCH physical downlink control channel
- indication bits configured to indicate change to SI.
- a certain indication bit in conventional DCI is utilized to indicate whether a change occurs to SI, or one bit dedicated to identifying whether SI is changed may be added.
- multiple bits may be employed to specifically identify the changed SIBs, which is not limited herein.
- the terminal may determine to receive SI when the DCI indicates that SI is changed, and determine not to receive SI when the DCI indicates that SI remains unchanged.
- the terminal may also determine whether to receive SI in accordance with changed SI or SIB indicated by the DCI.
- the first network-side equipment may broadcast SI corresponding to the SI change notification.
- the first network-side equipment may broadcast SI corresponding to the SI change notification in a next period following a current change period or when a preset number of change periods after the current change period elapses.
- the terminal receives a scheduling indication message transmitted by the first network-side equipment before receiving SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- the scheduling indication message is configured to indicate that the first network-side equipment is broadcasting SI corresponding to the SI change notification. More specifically, the scheduling indication message is further configured to indicate the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment, i.e., which SI is being broadcast.
- the terminal may determine whether to receive the SI according to the scheduling indication message.
- the terminal determines, according to the scheduling indication message, whether the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment includes SI corresponding to the SI change notification. If the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment includes SI corresponding to the SI change notification, the terminal determines to receive the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment; otherwise, the terminal determines not to receive the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment
- the terminal receives SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification may include receiving, by the terminal, SI broadcast by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification within a preset period.
- the preset period may be a certain change period after a current period, e.g., a subsequent change period spaced apart from the current change period by the number n of periods.
- the n is an integer greater than or equal to zero.
- the preset period is the next change period following the current change period.
- the n may be preset in the terminal, or may be informed by the first network-side equipment through a special message to the terminal, which is not limited herein.
- the preset period may be a specific change period.
- a change period may be divided into one or more consecutive time windows.
- the first network-side equipment broadcasts SI corresponding to the SI change notification in a change period, and the terminal receives the SI sequentially in the time windows.
- the terminal is unaware of which time window is the last time window, in another word, the terminal may continue waiting for SI after having completed the reception of SI corresponding to the SI change notification in the last time window, thereby impacting negatively the subsequent operation of the terminal and worsening the power consumption of the terminal.
- broadcast indication information may be carried in the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to indicate whether there is SI to be received in the next time window.
- that the terminal receives SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification within the preset period may include: starting receiving, by the terminal, the SI broadcast by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification in a start time window of the preset period. The terminal determines, in accordance with the broadcast indication information, whether to continue receiving SI in a next time window following a current time window.
- the broadcast indication information may be carried in SI transmitted in a last time window of the preset period, and the broadcast indication information indicates that the current time window is the last time window of the preset period or there is no SI to be transmitted in the next time window.
- the broadcast indication information may be carried in SI transmitted in each time window to indicate specifically whether there is SI to be transmitted in a next time window.
- the terminal may stop waiting for SI and prepare for subsequent operation, that is, the terminal may proceed to the subsequent operation rapidly, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the terminal.
- the terminal may transmit a second SI request to the first network-side equipment as needed, to request SI from the first network-side equipment. If there is the second SI request being transmitted or to be transmitted by the terminal to the first network-side equipment, then following the receiving, by the terminal, the SI change notification transmitted by the first network-side equipment, the terminal stops transmitting the second SI request, or the terminal forbids transmitting the second SI request for a preset time duration. In another word, the terminal was supposed to request SI from the first network-side equipment, however the terminal is notified by the SI change notification that SI is changed, as a result, the terminal refrains from transmitting the second SI request for the time being.
- the terminal may further refrain from transmitting the second SI request for a preset time duration according to a specific situation.
- the preset time duration may be determined by the terminal, may be set in advance, or may be instructed by the network-side equipment, which is not limited herein.
- the scenario that there is the second SI request to be transmitted to the first network-side equipment may include: in the case that the terminal transmits request messages consecutively, the terminal need to receive a response fed back from the first network-side equipment before transmitting a further request message. In this embodiment, the terminal waits for the response from the first network-side equipment while the preparation for the transmission of the second SI request is completed.
- the terminal prior to receiving, by the terminal, the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, the terminal transmits a first SI request to the first network-side equipment.
- the first SI request is configured to request SI corresponding to the SI change notification. That is, having receiving the change notification, the terminal may request voluntarily SI corresponding to the SI change notification.
- the terminal may determine whether to transmit the first SI request after the change notification is received. In some optional embodiments, the terminal may determine, in accordance with its own demand and/or version information of SI, to transmit the first SI request.
- the terminal receives version information of SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, and determines to transmit the first SI request. For example, the terminal compares the version information with version information stored in itself, and if the version information is the same, there is no need to receive the SI and as a result there is no need to transmit the first SI request. When the version information stored in the terminal is different from the version information of SI, the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request.
- the terminal receives a scheduling indication message transmitted by the first network-side equipment.
- the scheduling indication message is configured to indicate the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment, i.e., which SI is being broadcast. If the terminal determines that the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment which is indicated by the scheduling indication message doesn't include the SI corresponding to the first SI request, the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request. If the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment which is indicated by the scheduling indication message includes the SI corresponding to the first SI request, the terminal may directly receive the SI in the preset period, without having to transmit the first SI request.
- the terminal may determine to transmit the first SI request according to its own demand, that is, the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request according to the function to be performed subsequently, for example, if the terminal is to perform a cell reselection function subsequently, then it is necessary to transmit the first SI request, to obtain SI corresponding to the cell reselection function.
- the first SI request may be transmitted according to other demands, which is not limited herein.
- the terminal may further determine a transmission time of the first SI request, such that the terminal transmits the first SI request to the first network-side equipment at the transmission time.
- the terminal may transmit the first SI request as soon as the change notification is received.
- This mode is applicable to a terminal having SI stored therein, however, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and a terminal newly accessing the network-side equipment may as well transmit the first SI request as soon as the change notification is received.
- the terminal may withhold the transmission of the first SI request after the change notification is received.
- the terminal may determine the transmission time of the first SI request according to its own demand, for example, the terminal determine the transmission time of the first SI request according to SI required by function to be performed subsequently.
- the terminal may determine the transmission time of the first SI request, according to a broadcast function to be performed imminently, to acquire SI corresponding to the broadcast function.
- the scheduling indication message may be included in minimum SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment, however, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
- the first SI request may be transmitted by the terminal to the first network-side equipment during a random access process if the terminal is in an idle or inactive state.
- a random access request (MSG1) is firstly transmitted to the first network-side equipment, and when a random access response fed back by the first network-side equipment is received by the terminal, then a random access configuration request (MSG3) is transmitted to the first network-side equipment.
- the first SI request may be MSG1 or MSG3. That is, when the random access request or random access configuration request is utilized to request SI corresponding to the SI change notification, request for SI corresponding to the SI change notification may be carried in the random access request or random access configuration request, which is not limited herein.
- the reception of the SI corresponding to the SI change notification may initiated after the terminal is switched from the connected state to the idle or inactive state. That is, the terminal is switched from the connected state to the idle or inactive state prior to receiving the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- the first network-side equipment may unicast or broadcast the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to the terminal.
- the terminal may be scheduled first, then the SI corresponding to the SI change notification is transmitted to the terminal individually.
- the first network-side equipment may transmit scheduling information to the terminal, which is configured to indicate a resource location of the SI transmitted by the network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- the terminal receives, in accordance with the resource location indicated by the scheduling information, the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- the scheduling information indicates a time-frequency resource occupied by the SI transmitted by the network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, and the like. Accordingly, the terminal may receive SI at the time-frequency resource indicated by the scheduling information.
- new contents are proposed for the SI-related change notification, version information and the like.
- the change notification may be carried in any one of: minimum SI, a paging message, a downlink control information (DCI) format corresponding to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) used for scheduling the paging message, or a DCI format corresponding to a PDCCH scrambled with cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).
- DCI downlink control information
- PDCCH physical downlink control channel
- C-RNTI cell radio network temporary identifier
- the minimum SI may be transmitted voluntarily by the first network-side equipment to the terminal without the request of the terminal.
- the DCI of different PDCCHs is different, that is, the DCI corresponding to the PDCCH used for scheduling the paging message is different from the DCI corresponding to the PDCCH scrambled with C-RNTI.
- One or more bits in the change notification may be used to identify whether SI is changed. Take one bit for example, a bit value of "1" denotes there is change, while “0” denotes there is no change.
- the change notification may further include: a set of SI change identifiers (ID) which is configured to identify whether there is a change to corresponding SI.
- ID SI change identifiers
- the set of SI change identifiers may have different granularities.
- the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-SI block (SIB) change ID. That is, there is one identifier bit in the change notification for each SIB of the SI to identify whether the SIB is changed.
- SIB per-SI block
- the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-SI change ID. That is, each SI corresponds to one identifier bit to identify whether there is a change.
- the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-SIB group change ID.
- Each SIB group includes one or more preset SI.
- the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-functionality change ID.
- Each functionality includes one or more SI corresponding to a same function. That is, SI may be divided into different functionalities, e.g., the SI corresponding to cell reselection may be divided into a same functionality.
- the change notification may further include one or more of: an SI ID, an SI area ID, or version information.
- the SI ID corresponds to the set of SI change identifiers.
- the SI ID includes a per-SIB ID.
- SIB may be identified with a fixed bit, e.g., the first bit of the change notification is the change identifier bit for SIB1. In this way, no dedicated SI ID is required.
- the SI ID includes a per-SI ID. Similar to the scenario with SIB, SI may also be identified with a fixed bit.
- the SI ID includes a per-SIB group ID. Similar to the scenario with SIB, SIB group may also be identified with a fixed bit.

201710309727.1 - This disclosure relates to wireless communication technologies, in particular to a method of transmitting system information, a terminal and a network-side equipment.
- In 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication system, in order to reduce signaling overhead, improve radio resource utilization and lower base station energy consumption, New Radio (NR) proposes to divide system information (SI) into two categories: minimum SI and other SI. The other SI is also called On-demand SI and encompasses all SI except for the minimum SI. The minimum SI is broadcast by a base station to a terminal, while the On-demand SI is requested by the terminal from the base station on demand.
- In conventional communication systems prior to 5G, should any change occurs to SI, a base station broadcasts or unicasts the changed SI to a terminal. However, as the On-demand SI in 5G is requested on demand voluntarily, system resources will be wasted if the conventional mode of transmitting SI to a terminal immediately after a change occurs to the SI is adopted.
- In order to resolve the problem of resource waste, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method of transmitting system information, a terminal and a network-side equipment.

- According to embodiments of this disclosure, with respect to the situation in which SI is to be changed, a new transmission method is introduced.
-
Fig.2 is a schematic flow diagram of a method of transmitting system information provided by an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown inFig.2 , the method includes the following steps. - S201, receiving, by a terminal, an SI change notification transmitted by a first network-side equipment.
- The terminal is currently accessing the first network-side equipment.
- In case that a change occurs to SI, the first network-side equipment transmits an SI change notification to the terminal. The SI change notification is configured to indicate that SI is changed.
- In some optional embodiments, the SI may be system information on demand of the terminal. For example, the SI may refer to On-demand SI, and changes to the SI may be changes to part or all of parameters of the On-demand SI.
- In some optional embodiments, the SI change notification may indicate that one or more system information blocks (SIB) of the SI are changed, one SI is changed, or one group of SI are changed, which is not limited herein.
- S202, receiving, by the terminal, SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- In embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal may receive SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification according to its own demand.
- In some optional embodiments, after the first network-side equipment transmits the SI change notification, the first network-side equipment may broadcast or unicast to the terminal SI corresponding to the SI change notification, or transmit SI corresponding to the SI change notification on demand of the terminal.
- Accordingly, the terminal may receive voluntarily SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, for example, request voluntarily or receive voluntarily SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, which is not limited herein.
- In this embodiment, the terminal receives an SI change notification transmitted by the first network-side equipment; and then receives SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification. As such, receiving, by the terminal, SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification after the SI change notification is received by the terminal is achieved, thereby further improving the resource utilization. In addition, the network-side equipment transmits SI corresponding to the SI change notification after the SI change notification is transmitted, which facilitates improving the resource utilization.
- In a possible implementation, prior to receiving, by the terminal, SI corresponding to the SI change notification, the terminal may receive version information (e.g., ValueTag) of the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment, and determine, in accordance with the version information of the SI, to receive the SI.
- It is noted, the version information of SI may be version information of the SI corresponding to the SI change notification, i.e., version information of the changed SI.
- If the terminal has version information stored therein, the terminal compares the stored version information with the version information of the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to determine whether they are the same. If they are the same, the terminal no longer receives the SI corresponding to the SI change notification. If they are not the same, the terminal determines to receive the SI corresponding to the SI change notification.
- In specific, determining, by the terminal in accordance with the version information of SI, to receive the SI may include: determining, by the terminal, whether version information stored in the terminal is the same with the version information of SI; and when version information stored in the terminal is not the same with the version information of SI, the terminal determines to receive the SI.
- The version information may be ValueTag. Part of SIBs in the SI is associated with ValueTag. When ValueTag remains unchanged, it means the SIBs associated with ValueTag are unchanged; and when ValueTag is changed, it means all SIBs associated with ValueTag are changed, and thus it is necessary to acquire an updated SI. Taking ValueTag in conventional standards for example, ValueTag is carried in SIB1. If ValueTag in SIB1 is different from ValueTag stored by the terminal, it indicates that all stored SI, except for SIB10, SIB11 and SIB12, is invalid.
- In some optional embodiments, the version information may be carried directly in the SI change notification. After the terminal receives the SI change notification, the terminal compares version information of SI with version information stored by the terminal. Of course, the version information may be carried in other message, which is not limited by this embodiment.
- As far as a terminal newly accessing the network-side equipment is concerned, since the terminal has no SI stored, it may be determined to receive SI.
- On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the terminal may receive indication message transmitted by a second network-side equipment. The indication message is configured to indicate change to SI. The terminal may determine according to the indication message whether to receive SI transmitted by the second network-side equipment.
- This solution is applicable to a scenario in which the terminal is handed over from the first network-side equipment to the second network-side equipment. If SI of the second network-side equipment is changed, and the second network-side equipment has already transmitted an SI change notification before the terminal accesses the second network-side equipment, the second network-side equipment may transmit an indication message to the terminal to notify the terminal of the change to SI. The terminal determines according to the indication message whether to receive SI transmitted by the second network-side equipment.
- In some optional embodiments, the indication message may indicate changed SI. If the terminal has already received from the first network-side equipment SI indicated by the indication message, the terminal may refrain from receiving SI transmitted by the second network-side equipment.
- In addition, the indication message may carry version information of SI, such that the terminal may determine whether to receive SI according to stored version information and version information in the indication message.
- In some optional embodiments, the indication message may be downlink control information (DCI). DCI may be the DCI corresponding to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), which contains indication bits configured to indicate change to SI. For example, a certain indication bit in conventional DCI is utilized to indicate whether a change occurs to SI, or one bit dedicated to identifying whether SI is changed may be added. Alternatively, multiple bits may be employed to specifically identify the changed SIBs, which is not limited herein.
- Accordingly, the terminal may determine to receive SI when the DCI indicates that SI is changed, and determine not to receive SI when the DCI indicates that SI remains unchanged. The terminal may also determine whether to receive SI in accordance with changed SI or SIB indicated by the DCI.
- In some optional embodiments, after the first network-side equipment transmits the SI change notification, the first network-side equipment may broadcast SI corresponding to the SI change notification. For example, the first network-side equipment may broadcast SI corresponding to the SI change notification in a next period following a current change period or when a preset number of change periods after the current change period elapses. Under the circumstance, the terminal receives a scheduling indication message transmitted by the first network-side equipment before receiving SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification. The scheduling indication message is configured to indicate that the first network-side equipment is broadcasting SI corresponding to the SI change notification. More specifically, the scheduling indication message is further configured to indicate the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment, i.e., which SI is being broadcast.
- In some optional embodiments, the terminal may determine whether to receive the SI according to the scheduling indication message. The terminal determines, according to the scheduling indication message, whether the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment includes SI corresponding to the SI change notification. If the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment includes SI corresponding to the SI change notification, the terminal determines to receive the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment; otherwise, the terminal determines not to receive the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment
- Accordingly, that the terminal receives SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification may include receiving, by the terminal, SI broadcast by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification within a preset period.
- In some optional embodiments, the preset period may be a certain change period after a current period, e.g., a subsequent change period spaced apart from the current change period by the number n of periods. The n is an integer greater than or equal to zero. When n is zero, the preset period is the next change period following the current change period. The n may be preset in the terminal, or may be informed by the first network-side equipment through a special message to the terminal, which is not limited herein.
- The preset period may be a specific change period. A change period may be divided into one or more consecutive time windows. The first network-side equipment broadcasts SI corresponding to the SI change notification in a change period, and the terminal receives the SI sequentially in the time windows. However, in related art, the terminal is unaware of which time window is the last time window, in another word, the terminal may continue waiting for SI after having completed the reception of SI corresponding to the SI change notification in the last time window, thereby impacting negatively the subsequent operation of the terminal and worsening the power consumption of the terminal.
- In this embodiment, broadcast indication information may be carried in the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to indicate whether there is SI to be received in the next time window.
- In some optional embodiments, that the terminal receives SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification within the preset period may include: starting receiving, by the terminal, the SI broadcast by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification in a start time window of the preset period. The terminal determines, in accordance with the broadcast indication information, whether to continue receiving SI in a next time window following a current time window.
- The broadcast indication information may be carried in SI transmitted in a last time window of the preset period, and the broadcast indication information indicates that the current time window is the last time window of the preset period or there is no SI to be transmitted in the next time window. Alternatively, the broadcast indication information may be carried in SI transmitted in each time window to indicate specifically whether there is SI to be transmitted in a next time window.
- In this embodiment, after the terminal completes the reception of SI in the last time window, the terminal may stop waiting for SI and prepare for subsequent operation, that is, the terminal may proceed to the subsequent operation rapidly, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the terminal.
- Further, the terminal may transmit a second SI request to the first network-side equipment as needed, to request SI from the first network-side equipment. If there is the second SI request being transmitted or to be transmitted by the terminal to the first network-side equipment, then following the receiving, by the terminal, the SI change notification transmitted by the first network-side equipment, the terminal stops transmitting the second SI request, or the terminal forbids transmitting the second SI request for a preset time duration. In another word, the terminal was supposed to request SI from the first network-side equipment, however the terminal is notified by the SI change notification that SI is changed, as a result, the terminal refrains from transmitting the second SI request for the time being.
- In some optional embodiments, the terminal may further refrain from transmitting the second SI request for a preset time duration according to a specific situation. The preset time duration may be determined by the terminal, may be set in advance, or may be instructed by the network-side equipment, which is not limited herein.
- It is noted, the scenario that there is the second SI request to be transmitted to the first network-side equipment may include: in the case that the terminal transmits request messages consecutively, the terminal need to receive a response fed back from the first network-side equipment before transmitting a further request message. In this embodiment, the terminal waits for the response from the first network-side equipment while the preparation for the transmission of the second SI request is completed.
- On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, prior to receiving, by the terminal, the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, the terminal transmits a first SI request to the first network-side equipment. The first SI request is configured to request SI corresponding to the SI change notification. That is, having receiving the change notification, the terminal may request voluntarily SI corresponding to the SI change notification.
- In practice, the terminal may determine whether to transmit the first SI request after the change notification is received. In some optional embodiments, the terminal may determine, in accordance with its own demand and/or version information of SI, to transmit the first SI request.
- For example, the terminal receives version information of SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, and determines to transmit the first SI request. For example, the terminal compares the version information with version information stored in itself, and if the version information is the same, there is no need to receive the SI and as a result there is no need to transmit the first SI request. When the version information stored in the terminal is different from the version information of SI, the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request.
- It is also possible that the terminal receives a scheduling indication message transmitted by the first network-side equipment. The scheduling indication message is configured to indicate the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment, i.e., which SI is being broadcast. If the terminal determines that the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment which is indicated by the scheduling indication message doesn't include the SI corresponding to the first SI request, the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request. If the SI being broadcast by the first network-side equipment which is indicated by the scheduling indication message includes the SI corresponding to the first SI request, the terminal may directly receive the SI in the preset period, without having to transmit the first SI request.
- The terminal may determine to transmit the first SI request according to its own demand, that is, the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request according to the function to be performed subsequently, for example, if the terminal is to perform a cell reselection function subsequently, then it is necessary to transmit the first SI request, to obtain SI corresponding to the cell reselection function. Of course, the first SI request may be transmitted according to other demands, which is not limited herein.
- In some optional embodiments, if the terminal determines to transmit the first SI request, the terminal may further determine a transmission time of the first SI request, such that the terminal transmits the first SI request to the first network-side equipment at the transmission time.
- The terminal may transmit the first SI request as soon as the change notification is received. This mode is applicable to a terminal having SI stored therein, however, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and a terminal newly accessing the network-side equipment may as well transmit the first SI request as soon as the change notification is received.
- Optionally, the terminal may withhold the transmission of the first SI request after the change notification is received. In specific, the terminal may determine the transmission time of the first SI request according to its own demand, for example, the terminal determine the transmission time of the first SI request according to SI required by function to be performed subsequently. For example, the terminal may determine the transmission time of the first SI request, according to a broadcast function to be performed imminently, to acquire SI corresponding to the broadcast function.
- It is noted, in embodiments of this disclosure, the scheduling indication message may be included in minimum SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment, however, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
- In an optional implementation, the first SI request may be transmitted by the terminal to the first network-side equipment during a random access process if the terminal is in an idle or inactive state.
- It is noted, when the terminal initiates a random access process, a random access request (MSG1) is firstly transmitted to the first network-side equipment, and when a random access response fed back by the first network-side equipment is received by the terminal, then a random access configuration request (MSG3) is transmitted to the first network-side equipment. Thus the first SI request may be MSG1 or MSG3. That is, when the random access request or random access configuration request is utilized to request SI corresponding to the SI change notification, request for SI corresponding to the SI change notification may be carried in the random access request or random access configuration request, which is not limited herein.
- In addition, since a terminal has to transmit data in connected state, for a terminal with inadequate reception capability, the reception of the SI corresponding to the SI change notification may initiated after the terminal is switched from the connected state to the idle or inactive state. That is, the terminal is switched from the connected state to the idle or inactive state prior to receiving the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- In some optional embodiment, after the first network-side equipment receives the first SI request transmitted by the terminal, the first network-side equipment may unicast or broadcast the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to the terminal.
- If the first network-side equipment unicasts the SI corresponding to the SI change notification to the terminal, the terminal may be scheduled first, then the SI corresponding to the SI change notification is transmitted to the terminal individually. The first network-side equipment may transmit scheduling information to the terminal, which is configured to indicate a resource location of the SI transmitted by the network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification. The terminal receives, in accordance with the resource location indicated by the scheduling information, the SI transmitted by the first network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification.
- For example, the scheduling information indicates a time-frequency resource occupied by the SI transmitted by the network-side equipment and corresponding to the SI change notification, and the like. Accordingly, the terminal may receive SI at the time-frequency resource indicated by the scheduling information.
- In some optional embodiments, new contents are proposed for the SI-related change notification, version information and the like.
- The change notification may be carried in any one of: minimum SI, a paging message, a downlink control information (DCI) format corresponding to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) used for scheduling the paging message, or a DCI format corresponding to a PDCCH scrambled with cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).
- The minimum SI may be transmitted voluntarily by the first network-side equipment to the terminal without the request of the terminal. The DCI of different PDCCHs is different, that is, the DCI corresponding to the PDCCH used for scheduling the paging message is different from the DCI corresponding to the PDCCH scrambled with C-RNTI.
- One or more bits in the change notification may be used to identify whether SI is changed. Take one bit for example, a bit value of "1" denotes there is change, while "0" denotes there is no change.
- In specific, the change notification may further include: a set of SI change identifiers (ID) which is configured to identify whether there is a change to corresponding SI.
- The set of SI change identifiers may have different granularities. For example, the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-SI block (SIB) change ID. That is, there is one identifier bit in the change notification for each SIB of the SI to identify whether the SIB is changed.
- Alternatively, the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-SI change ID. That is, each SI corresponds to one identifier bit to identify whether there is a change.
- Alternatively, the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-SIB group change ID. Each SIB group includes one or more preset SI.
- Alternatively, the set of SI change identifiers includes a per-functionality change ID. Each functionality includes one or more SI corresponding to a same function. That is, SI may be divided into different functionalities, e.g., the SI corresponding to cell reselection may be divided into a same functionality.
- In some optional embodiments, the change notification may further include one or more of: an SI ID, an SI area ID, or version information.
- The SI ID corresponds to the set of SI change identifiers. In specific, when the set of SI change IDs includes the per-SIB change ID, the SI ID includes a per-SIB ID. Of course, SIB may be identified with a fixed bit, e.g., the first bit of the change notification is the change identifier bit for SIB1. In this way, no dedicated SI ID is required.
- Alternatively, when the set of SI change IDs includes the per-SI change ID, the SI ID includes a per-SI ID. Similar to the scenario with SIB, SI may also be identified with a fixed bit.
- Alternatively, when the set of SI change IDs includes the per-SIB group change ID, the SI ID includes a per-SIB group ID. Similar to the scenario with SIB, SIB group may also be identified with a fixed bit.
- Alternatively, when the set of SI change IDs includes the per-functionality change ID, the SI ID includes a per-functionality ID. Similar to the scenario with SIB, functionality may also be identified with a fixed bit.
- The SI area ID is any one of: a cell ID, a cell group ID, a transmission reception point (TRP) ID or a TRP group ID.
- In some optional embodiments, the version information may include one or more of: an SI ValueTag, an SI ID, or an SI area ID.
- An SI ValueTag with N bits may be provided, and N is an integer greater than zero.
- The SI ID includes any one of: the per-SIB ID, the per-SI ID, the per-SIB group ID, or the per-functionality ID, which is similar to the foregoing embodiment, thus a repeated description thereof is omitted herein.
- The SI area ID is any one of: a cell ID, a cell group ID, a TRP ID or a TRP group ID, which is similar to the foregoing embodiment, thus a repeated description thereof is omitted herein.
